短遊塱原拍夕陽 | Long Valley under Sunset

一直也很喜歡塱原這個地方。這兒保留著香港的農業文化,這兒也保留著濕地,讓候鳥有地方去聚居,有地方去補給,也可以在這兒生活下去。這兒也不像是濕地公園,大家是可以真的跟自然,跟當地的文化,走得這麼親近,而非隔著玻璃等去觀賞這一個自然。但有人去拍自然就有問題,看著周遭的告示,都可以看到大家為著拍攝,有時候真是破壞當地多於保護當地。例如是走進農地內拍照,弄壞了人家田野的設施,甚至聽說有些拍攝鳥類時,為著拍得好相片,而是去騷擾鳥類多於是去觀賞自然。希望大家都可以珍惜這些自然風貌及環境。這兒將來或會有著一個危機。隨著新界東北新發展區計劃的開展,這兒被劃為自然生態公園。究竟是怎樣去管理這兒,到現在仍然是一個謎。但真是不希望這兒變成另外一個天水圍的濕地公園,或是一個市鎮公園的模式去管理,而是真是讓這兒的一切,包括這兒的農業,可以繼續延伸下去,而不是趕走他們。這地的靈魂,我覺得是這兒的農業,這兒的人文,若果沒有了這一切,這兒還算是這兒嗎?

From Long Valley, near Sheung Shui, Hong Kong. I really love this place, as you could see this place is not “dead” – you could see the interaction between human, the farming activities, and also birds as it is also a piece of wetland and a place for birds to have rest and lives. Hope that this place would not “dead” due to the development of new towns. In my opinion, turning this place into something like a city park, banning all farming activities will simply kill this place. You would not see how people and birds interact, and also seems people would not have a chance to have a closer exploration with the nature, if strict rules and modern facilities are applied in this place.
